Here's a explanation of how it it works

With no occupants the car weighs 2,760 lbs stock so 55% of weight is (somewhere around) 1,518 lbs and the 45% is 1,242 lbs

Now lets say two occupants weigh 150lbs a piece. That would mean around 2/3rds of their bodies will be on the rearward side of the car so it would have about 200 lbs on the rear and about 100 on the front.

2760+300=3,060 lbs and minus 53% from that and you get 1621.80(f) and 47% 1438.2(r) on the rear.
